SWAAY VOICES

Style

Whether you’ve prepared yourself for a complete length shift or are just popping into a salon for a quick bang trim, hair change is an emotional one. We’ve all experienced the inevitable urge to scrunch, soothe or adjust our locks when walking past a mirror or an opaque window. Hair is a personal expression, which is why finding a salon that understands your vision is paramount.

Our mission

Swaay is dedicated to elevating female voices and changing the narrative by celebrating the stories of women who are challenging the status quo and giving them a platform to participate in more meaningful conversations.

In Partnership With Brains Over BlondeWe're told life is full of choices and to succeed you have to "act more like a man." We're not having it. In this post #MeToo and #TimesUp world, we celebrate our strength as women. You don't have to choose between femininity and success. Ladies, let's harness our power.

Starting a company is awesome, empowering, and exhilarating but it can also be scary, hard, or just plain grueling. There is so much to do but don't let that get you down. Listen to the ladies who are in the throes. We're with you.

Drop in on the conversations we are having with a variety of experts, ask them anything, and discuss with other women in the group. This is our "TED stage" where we host interesting people sharing the work they are doing, telling their stories, and sharing their perspectives.

In partnership with SoGal VenturesSeriously. Money makes the world go around and more importantly, it helps to fund our businesses, our hustles, and our side hustles. We're talking Venture Capital firms and strategies to get a piece of the pie no matter what stage your business is in.
